Reggie

   These pieces are a continuation of the period, in which I was trying to maintain an interest in creating art. I cannot imagine ever living without creating art, but there are moments that occur when I definitely lose interest, because of mood swings and depressive episodes. It is not  always easy to create, while trying to manage a mental health condition, but I am blessed to still have the determination, to do so.

2. Reggie (medium sketch)

3. Reggie (large sketch)

These were not considered to be favorites of mine. But, as far as sketching goes, they are an important contribution to my creative portfolio. I appreciate them more now, after scanning and reviewing them for posting online. I decided to name this man "Reggie", because certain names usually enter my mind when I'm observing the physical features of these men; that I create, and this name satisfied me.

Man Riding Another Man & Other Drawings

1. Man Riding Another Man              2. Man Standing Beside Car                                 3. Man Standing In Closet                 4. The Writer                                      5. Man Standing Before A Mirror      1. Man Riding Another Man, is another piece that was drawn with a brush and ink, with washes added. It was also done on a scrap piece of mat board. This is a position I like to draw, and it produces various outcomes, regardless of how it is created. This is a good angle to draw, because it displays the most in depth physical perspective of this sexual position, while including much space of the room within the same setting. 2. Man Standing Beside Car, was an early attempt at drawing a car effe...

Eric Dolphy and other jazz themed pieces

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1. Eric Dolphy, is one of my personal favorite drawings. He is also one of my favorite musicians. This piece is inspired by one of my favorite photographs. It is by the great photographer Francis Wolff. A photo taken during one of Dolphy's recording sessions. I love the flute solos from this multi instrumentalist. The flute in general is my favorite instrument, if I had to pick one to play. One of the reasons, is because of the beautiful Eric Dolphy, who passed away too soon. He also was an incredibly gifted alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist. I consider his Out To Lunch album, as the " great American novel " in a musical format, by this awesome performer. 2. Swingin' Easy ( For Sarah Vaughan) is a tribute to my favorite singer, The Divine One herself. I wanted to capture the vibe and energy, of being in an intimate and small jazz club, while watching an amazing performance. The excitement and awestruck sound of Sarah Vaughan is just so otherworld...
